I realize I’m smiling as I review the list a few times and then turn the journal sideways so I can read Winnie’s notes in the margins. I’m so careful with the journal, touching it as if I’m an archivist in a gallery. This is Isabel’s sister’s handwriting—this list is a treasure.
I like her scribbled notes:
Maybe don’t actually jump off any cliffs. Scope it out. Get a cool photo at the very least.
What’s actually in hierbas ibicencas?
Best club on the island?
I set the journal down between us on the console and wait for Isabel to turn to me. She’s kept her attention carefully focused outside, but I know she feels my gaze.
Eventually she looks at the journal, then hesitantly, her eyes rise to mine.
“There was no mention of getting a job.”
Her forehead wrinkles like my observation surprises her. “Yeah, that was all me. I doubt Winnie would have worked here, but I wanted to do a few things my way, and working on the island seemed fun.”
“Is it?”
She heaves a sigh, her shoulders sagging against the seat. “Ask me again in the morning.”
“Do you work back in the States?”
I hadn’t even thought about it until now. With her family’s wealth, she wouldn’t need to.
